About: Hi! My name is Karen and I’ve had a lifelong love for animals. I grew up with pets my whole life. I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also have experience working in animal shelters, where I worked with a variety of pets and learned how to be patient, attentive, and responsive to each animal’s behavior. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, or just some extra care and attention, I will treat them like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be available throughout the day. I prioritize feeding times, playtime, and check ins, and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency. I provide a safe, calm, and cozy environment where pets can feel right at home. My home has large, secure spaces with a fully fenced backyard and front yard for safe play. I also have cat trees, cat toys, dog toys, and a dog friendly pool to keep pets happy and entertained. For comfort and safety, I always separate my cats when boarding, creating a relaxed environment for everyone. I’m also live near a park and can take pets on walks for fresh air and exercise. I always follow each pet’s routine and give them plenty of love, attention, and care, with regular updates for peace of mind.
About: Hi! My name is Lin, and I’m a pet sitter with a special focus on cats and small pets I currently have two cats of my own, one senior cat and one younger kitten, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I understand that every cat adjusts differently in a new environment, and I always try to create a calm, low stress space where they can feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. I have experience with shy cats, affectionate cats, high energy kittens, and pets that need a little extra patience or monitoring. I pay close attention to eating habits, litter box changes, behavior, and overall comfort during their stay. Our home is clean, quiet, and pet friendly, and I always make sure pets have their own safe space if they need time alone. I also send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel connected while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and truly enjoy getting to know their personalities 😊 I work during the day from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, but I maintain a structured routine to ensure pets are well cared for before and after work. In the mornings, I provide feeding, cleaning, and check-ins, and in the afternoons and evenings I dedicate time for play, interaction, and monitoring. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and pet sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I also have a home monitoring system to check on pets while I’m away, ensuring they remain safe and comfortable throughout the day. I provide a clean, quiet, and secure home environment that is ideal for both cats and small dogs. My home is a house in a safe and peaceful neighborhood, with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time for dogs. I have two cats of my own — one calm and very friendly, and one playful — both are well-socialized and non-aggressive. I also have a separate room available for safe and gradual introductions or full separation if needed. All windows are secured with screens, and pets are always kept in a controlled and safe indoor environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, litter box care, and behavior monitoring. I provide daily photo and video updates for peace of mind, and I only accept a limited number of pets (maximum of 3 at a time) to ensure each pet receives proper attention and care.
“Bonnie was recommended to us by a friend, and I would also recommend her! She was flexible, communicated well, and made my pet feel special. My shy cat warmed up to her within 3 visits. I would definitely use her services again!”
About: Hello, I’m excited to meet your fur babies! I grew up rescuing and fostering dogs and cats. I have experience with taking care of dogs, cats, turtles, fish and small farm animals. I have worked with professional dog trainers to be more aware on how to handle someone’s pet or situation that may occur. At the moment I work a part time with good flexibility. I make my own schedule so I’ll have the necessary time available to make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. I love being active so you can rest assure that your fur baby will have lots of play time! Whatever he/she may need I will provide. If they are on a strict diet or medical routine I will make sure to keep all routines while you are away. If your pet has any specific commands that they respond to please be sure to let me know so it’s easier on them and myself to keep their routine the same. If your pet requieres more at home cuddles, I’m up for the job! I will make sure their area is always clean and maintained as well.
“Yumi is amazing! She went above and beyond for my senior cat. She even bought her a toy that is now my cat’s favourite toy. She sent me updates and photos everyday. Very grateful! Yumi is now my go-to for a petsitter”

“Monique was ready to help us when we needed a sitter to do a drop in for an hour. She is so attentive with the dogs, we love having her sit for our zoo! We can’t wait to have her sit for us again!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter based in Ontario, CA, available weekday afternoons and Fridays through Sundays. I grew up with pets and currently help care for three senior Chihuahua–Pomeranian mixes. My family and I rescued their parents and raised their entire litter of six, so I have hands-on experience with dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I also have a strong background caring for cats. I’ve raised two rescue cats since they were kittens, and my current cat is now 12 years old. This has given me a deep understanding of feline behavior and routines, as well as how to keep cats comfortable and stress-free in their home environment. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and gentle care. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or keeping your pet company, I focus on making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I’m always happy to send photo updates for peace of mind. I’m new to Rover and look forward to earning your trust while providing dependable, loving care. I’d love the opportunity to work with you and your pets! I’m happy to work with first-time clients and offer flexible scheduling for weekend care. I'm currently working during the day, and I am available to care for your fur babies in the afternoons. I am pretty flexible during the weekends too. I provide attentive care during walks and visits, follow all instructions, ensure pets are safe and loved, and send pics. No boarding at this time.

About: I have had pets of my own for over 15 years.

I have a small unfenced yard where I can take your pets out with a leash. If it is needed, I have a patio that creates space for a crate for all sizes.
About: I’ve always loved animals and had many family pets growing up. I have had experience caring for and walking dogs of various ages and temperaments.

Let me clear my mind and a bit of your to do list with a brisk or slow stroll with your four legged friend. I show respect to all species and will vow to take the safest and healthiest path each step of the way with your four legged family member.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ontario
Braelyn was very conscientious and flexible with her time to get to know my dogs and learn about their midday routine prior to the actual drop-in visit. My dogs have taken to her, which is big deal as one of my dogs is quite judgy and wary of certain people. I appreciated her honesty and care for my crew.
Amanda was the best! She was communicative and so kind! Your animal babies and homes are in great hands with her. This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t recommend Amanda enough! She gave my kitty the best care and love while I was away. She’s amazing.
Destiny is the best pet sitter! She has watched our kitty cats multiple times and she is excellent taking care of our fur babies! She keeps in touch with pictures and videos for each visit so we know our babies are doing great! If you are looking for a sitter for your pet she is awesome!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ontario on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 13,877 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ontario. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ontario stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ontario. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
